It’s hard to see in the dark…unless you’re Firefly! Will Firefly be able to show their friends the beautiful moonflower, or will sleep win the night?
Firefly Night also has a "Cartooning Basics" page at the front of the book and a "Nature Guide" page at the back, making it the whole package for emerging readers—and a great example of what I Can Read Comics is all about!

5. BirdCatDog (Three-Story Books) Kindle Edition by Lee Nordling (Author), Meritxell Bosch (Illustrator)
Look out! A bird escapes from its cage and flies out the window. A napping cat wakes up hungry and tries to catch a snack. A dog stands guard in his backyard, ready to bark at anything that comes near. Follow the tales of three animals on one wild afternoon.
In this clever wordless comic, each animal is a hero in its own story and all three stories are connected. Lee Nordling's simple storytelling engages young readers and provides a gateway into understanding multiple perspectives and points of view.
